The family that owned the statue reported that the theft occurred at 8:29 p.m. on Monday, October 27, a few hours before the celebration for Saint Jude Thaddeus. A video recorded by a security camera shows the moment two men on a motorcycle stole the saint.
One of the men was driving the motorcycle, while the second, wearing a light blue sweatshirt and still wearing his helmet, got off the vehicle and took the religious figure, which was approximately 1.80 meters tall. The altar from which Saint Jude Thaddeus was stolen was already decorated for the celebration.
